I love to brag about my children from time to time as you will see. My daughter was the topic yesterday, so here goes...

My son is a seasoned chef, and has cooked beside some of the top chefs around. Do I sound like one of THOSE mothers yet? I WILL ADMIT IT--I am.

He has so many talents and is one of the most creative people I have ever known. Now I am not saying this because I am his mother--I am saying this because it is the gospel, and in the south that means something! I will have to give a little credit to those he learned from--some of the best french chefs in the country.

I am looking forward to some fine vittles soon, and I was thinking along the line of his brown sugar and balsamic Salmon or chicken anything. This child CAN create miracles with a chicken.

At the moment he is creating marvelous web pages. As I said, he is a very creative person and successful I might add! I think he may have found his niche. I have seen several of the web pages he has done and his artistic experience jumps out at you!

Joey has brought me many years of joy, and he will be getting married in June to a precious young lady. Then in years to come, the pitter-patter of tiny feet--the most perfect (of course) grandchildren.

That will be another story, along with the numerous blogs about the christening gown and the beautiful dresses and gowns for this angel from God. Yes, in the south boys do wear day gowns for at least six months, and move into smocked or french hand sewn ensembles, haha. Oh, and by the way, we also like to stick a few magnolia leaves in the background if pictures are being made.Oh--Ok Ok--enough for this blog.
